Sylvain Kustyan Chansons - Using music and songs when teaching English

When I teach English, I very often resort to music and songs to make learning more fun!
Some teachers believe it is a waste of time to use songs in class when there is so much to do. I will tell you, there is no need to feel guilty about using music in class. It helps to motivate the young learners and to create a cheerful atmosphere in the class.
It is great to start a period with five minutes' singing for example or to end it like that.
So feel free to use music as much as you like! The students will love it! It will help them to gain confidence in themselves. They will be more willing to participate in class as well.
